Is My Stress Just Normal Life?
Some stress is a normal part of life. But if your stress is persistent, affecting your sleep, your relationships, your ability to function, or your sense of yourself , it may be more than just "normal life." You do not have to wait until you are in crisis before seeking support.
The difficulty with stress is that it normalises itself. When you have been under pressure for a long time, the state of being stressed starts to feel like your baseline. You may not recognise how much it is affecting you until something breaks , your health, a relationship, or your ability to cope with something you would normally manage. Stress becomes a concern when it is no longer proportionate to its cause, when it does not resolve with rest, or when it starts to affect areas of your life beyond its original source. Therapy can help you understand the roots of your stress and find sustainable ways to manage it.
If your stress feels like more than you can manage alone, a free introductory call is a good place to start.
